What to do

Before going into what should and should not be done, in warming up. It is important to know the difference between a static stretch and a dynamic stretch. Stretching can come in handy as a complement to our warm-up.

We understand static stretching, when you lengthen a muscle and keep it for about 10-30 seconds.
On the other hand, a dynamic stretching involves quick active movements through small exercises.

Use active exercises that will gradually mobilize the muscles within your range of motion. Do 8-10 repetitions.
The goal is to get the blood flowing and increase the temperature of your body. Intensity is important, but more important is keeping pace.
Depending on the exercises you are about to perform, focus your warm-up on those exercises that can help you to start activating the muscles.
